Who were the “minor prophets” of Israel? Hosea, Amos, Obadiah, Joel, etc. are books that we tend to skip over in our Bibles. However, there is a powerful gospel message throughout the minor prophets. Though people sin and judgement comes, restoration is always available. God continually says to His people, “Return to Me.” In this series we will see how God's love never gives up, never stops, and never ends when it comes to His people.

The teaching starts at 9:00 PM EST.

Sermon Notes:- Outside of God's grace in my life, I'm one step from stupid.- PRIDE = “I deserve better” “They'll pay for this”- Where do you see pride in our culture?- Jacob = Israel/Judah | Esau = Edom- Edom had money. They had security. They had geographic advantage.- Obadiah 1:3-4 - 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?”4 Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the Lord.- Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?- Self-reliance quickly leads to self-deception- Has your heart ever deceived you?- BUT Yahweh will never be defeated.- Obadiah 1:8 - 8 Will I not on that day, declares the Lord, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?- They placed their hope in the wisdom of man.- Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”- 1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.- Obadiah 1:10-12 - 10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. 11 On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. 12 But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress.- Edom's choice was to fulfill their plan rather than participate in God's- Are we ever like the Edomites?- Obadiah 1:15-16 - 15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. 16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been.- Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”- Obadiah 1:21 - Saviors (deliverers) shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.- How often are we the Edomite?- Are you building your own kingdom like Edom? Or are you surrendering to God's kingdom?- In His kingdom there is no place for pride.- Choose humility over pride. Choose trust over control. Choose Christ over self.- “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)- Faith in the One who humbly rules forever.LIFE Group Discussion QuestionsOpener: When was a time you got really upset over something small—and later realized it revealed something much deeper about your heart?1. Read Obadiah2. Where do you see pride showing up in your life right now—maybe in your relationships, decisions, or even thoughts?3. Have you ever trusted yourself or others more than God—and how did that turn out?4. Why is it so hard to wait on God's plan instead of doing things our own way?5. Jesus chose humility instead of pride—even when He had all the power. What does that teach us about how we should respond when we feel wronged?6. What's one area in your life where you need to lay down pride and trust Jesus more this week?

You kill pride in your life by beholding the humble King: Jesus. Humility keeps our minds and hearts open to and fixed on him.

Article 4: The Canonical Books We include in the Holy Scripture the two volumes of the Old and New Testaments. They are canonical books with which there can be no quarrel at all. In the church of God the list is as follows: In the Old Testament, the five books of Moses— Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy; the books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth; the two books of Samuel, and two of Kings; the two books of Chronicles, called Paralipomenon; the first book of Ezra; Nehemiah, Esther, Job; the Psalms of David; the three books of Solomon— Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song; the four major prophets— Isaiah, Jeremiah*, Ezekiel, Daniel; and then the other twelve minor prophets— Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. In the New Testament, the four gospels— Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; the Acts of the Apostles; the fourteen letters of Paul— to the Romans; the two letters to the Corinthians; to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians; the two letters to the Thessalonians; the two letters to Timothy; to Titus, Philemon, and to the Hebrews; the seven letters of the other apostles— one of James; two of Peter; three of John; one of Jude; and the Revelation of the apostle John. * "Jeremiah" here includes the Book of Lamentations as well as the Book of Jeremiah. Article 5: The Authority of Scripture We receive all these books and these only as holy and canonical, for the regulating, founding, and establishing of our faith. And we believe without a doubt all things contained in them— not so much because the church receives and approves them as such but above all because the Holy Spirit testifies in our

Discover the powerful lessons from the smallest book in the Old Testament - Obadiah.

The book of Obadiah, though the shortest in the Bible, delivers a strong warning about pride, betrayal, and the consequences of turning from God's design for family and faith. Esau's descendants chose bitterness over brotherhood, showing us the danger of trading eternal purpose for temporary satisfaction. True joy comes not through comfort but through surrender, pruning, and obedience. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how embracing our identity as sons of God leads us from brokenness to blessing and prepares us to restore the hearts of future generations.

The day is near when I, the Lord, will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads. (Obadiah 15 NLT).--Chapter Time Stamps:00:00 Intro00:18 Chapter 105:16 Outro--contact@parableministries.comhttps://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Teaching on Obadiah 1-9

The book of Obadiah shows how pride and broken relationships can derail God's purpose for our lives. Despite the pain people may cause, we're called to grow through community and pursue unity with humility. Scripture gives us a path to healing: confront conflict with grace and seek wisdom from godly people. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler shares how Obadiah reveals the importance of guarding your heart, confronting pride, and building relationships that move you toward God's purpose.

Thursday with Tabitha Introduction by Tabitha Smith   I met Jesus when I was 11-years-old. God had blessed me with a believing family and I sung in church choirs from the time I could read. But I didn't have a personal relationship with Jesus until a certain day in 1990. I'd gone to a violin exam, which was being held in a local church. Waiting nervously for my turn to perform for the examiners, I picked up some leaflets that were sitting on a table in the church foyer. I read one of these leaflets on my own later that day. The message of Jesus dying and rising again for the sins of all people was not brand new to me, as I'd heard it many times before, but at that moment, it was like I heard it and understood it for the first time. I cried my 11-year-old eyes out and then asked my mum if I could get my own Bible. Of course, she agreed! I've always identified very strongly with the words in Amazing Grace, “I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see”, because that's exactly what it felt like. I made the decision to follow Jesus from that day onwards. Over the last couple of decades God has been teaching me from the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit and many great human teachers. It's gradually become clear to me that my primary spiritual gift is teaching. I feel very privileged to be able to share in the ministry of Partakers. Over the next few months I'm going to be taking a tour through the books of the minor prophets. I reckon that if you lined up the Bibles of a sample of believers (myself included!) and looked at the pages that looked least worn and thumbed you would find that the minor prophets account for a substantial proportion of the most pristine pages! Even those prophets that we feel more familiar with, like Jonah, have often only featured in our Christian lives in the form of Sunday school stories. Well, it's time to do something about that! The books of the minor prophets are full of incredible truths which will help us to understand the character and heart of God. If you've ever felt intimidated or confused by these particular books in the Bible then I hope you will join me as I give an overview of each book and I really hope you'll be inspired to have a closer look at each one for yourself. The minor prophets are no less important than the major prophets (such as Isaiah and Jeremiah) but their prophetic books are shorter in length and therefore referred to as 'minor'. The books of the minor prophets were written over a long time span, ranging from the eighth century BC to the fourth or fifth century BC. We're going to look at them in roughly chronological order, which is a little different to the order they appear in the Bible. The dating of certain books, such as Obadiah and Joel, is uncertain and scholars disagree about when these books were written. So please forgive me if the order in which I tackle the books is not the precise order that you expect! It's first helpful to consider what the role of a prophet is. When we think of the word 'prophecy' we often think about predictions relating to the future. Now, the prophets did sometimes speak about things that had not yet happened, but much more often they spoke about present events and announced God's thoughts and messages to the peoples of Israel and Judah. Prophets were not generally regular teachers of God's word (that was the task of the priests). Instead prophets were raised up at particular times and for particular situations, to speak God's words to the people. They were able to see things and understand things that other people could not. As we look at the 12 books of the minor prophets we will see some common themes emerging. The prophets repeatedly spoke of the fact that God had chosen Israel for a covenant relationship; they declared the sad truth that the majority of Israel had sinned against God and turned away from him; they warned about coming judgement; and they declared the promise of renewal and restoration that would follow judgement, both in the immediate future and at the end of history. As we study each book we need to first look at what book meant to the people who first heard the message. When we have understood this we can then consider how each book speaks to us today. Our first study will begin next Thursday in the book of Jonah. I hope you'll join me then! Tabitha Tap or click here to download this episode as an audio mp3 file

Is it possible to be spiritually on fire but physically, mentally, or financially falling apart? This episode confronts a dangerous myth in Christian circles—that holiness means neglecting other parts of your life. We will dive into why followers of Jesus should stop settling for dysfunction in areas God clearly cares about and examine how imbalance in any one area can drag down the rest. God didn't call you to be mediocre in every other area while being “super spiritual.” He wants your whole life.

Overview of Obadiah by Bible Project. https://bibleproject.com/videos/obadiah/

Pastor Scott launched our summer series on the Minor Prophets by diving into the book of Obadiah. Each week, we'll uncover a unique message from one of these twelve minor prophets and see how it still resonates with us today. This week, we were reminded to willingly humble ourselves before God rather than face the painful consequences of pride. Let's take time this week to reflect on how we often try to reign as kings over our own lives, laying down our pride and remembering that we are beloved sons and daughters of the ultimate King.

Obadiah 1:1-21 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!” 2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised. 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?” 4 Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the Lord. 5 If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night— how you have been destroyed!— would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? 6 How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out! 7 All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you— you have no understanding. 8 Will I not on that day, declares the Lord, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau? 9 And your mighty men shall be dis-mayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter. 10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. 11 On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. 12 But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress. 13 Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity. 14 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress. 15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. 16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been. 17 But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. 18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken. 19 Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 20 The exiles of this host of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negeb. 21 Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

Obadiah delivers a scorching rebuke against Edom—not merely for their violence, but for their passive indifference to the suffering of their brother, Israel. They stood aloof while injustice raged, and in doing so, became complicit in it. This message confronts us today: when we retreat behind walls of comfort, affluence, and emotional distance, we risk becoming like Edom—calloused, complicit, and under judgment. But God promises a great reversal where the oppressed and poor will be restored, vindicated, and even rule with Him. The gospel calls us not to climb away from the suffering but to enter in, to see ourselves in the faces of the vulnerable, and to participate—through compassion, justice, and long obedience—in God's redemptive plan. We must come out from our personal Petras and walk toward Mount Zion, where Christ reigns and restores the broken.

By the time the LORD sends Elijah back to Israel, the famine has grown so severe that King Ahab himself has to go and look for grass to graze his animals. This provides the opportunity for faithful Obadiah, the man in charge of the king's household, to be alone and meet Elijah. Obadiah initially thinks that announcing Elijah's return to Ahab will prove deadly if the Spirit takes Elijah away suddenly again. In his lament, Obadiah gives faithful voice to his prayer before the LORD. Elijah promises that he will be present to meet Ahab, and so it happens. Although Ahab attempts to label Elijah as the troubler of Israel, Ahab's idolatry is the real source of Israel's trouble. Elijah prepares to bring the LORD's solution by setting up a contest with the false prophets who are being supported by the royal house. Rev.

"A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

Should Christians be involved in politics? This is just one of the important topics our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, talks about as he wraps up the story of Edom's judgment with good news for us all.

Pastor: Addison Frank, Obadiah 1:15-18

Edom certainly was prideful! But even though Edom ceased to exist long ago, its message for us today is certainly clear. In this study, Dr. J. Vernon McGee warns us about the pride that can creep into our society, our churches, our homes, and of course within ourselves.

What are the dangers of pride and godless living? Edom is a terrific example. Find out how God reacts when men try to overthrow God and become deity themselves.

When Esau despised his birthright, he declared he didn't care about God at all. Some 1200 years later, when his descendants had become a great people, they followed in his steps—declaring their ability to live without God, thinking they were perfectly secure without Him. Find out how God deals with this type of arrogance in the very unusual prophecy of Obadiah.

“A small book that packs a big punch.” That's how Dr. J. Vernon McGee describes Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament. In this first study, we'll learn more about the prophet and the important message he had for Edom.

Obadiah 10-21 (NASB) 10 "Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.11 "On the day that you stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And cast lots for Jerusalem - You too were as one of them.12 "Do not gloat over your brother's day, The day of his misfortune. And do not rejoice over the sons of Judah In the day of their destruction; Yes, do not boast In the day of their distress.13 "Do not enter the gate of My people In the day of their disaster. Yes, you, do not gloat over their calamity In the day of their disaster. And do not loot their wealth In the day of their disaster.14 "Do not stand at the fork of the road To cut down their fugitives; And do not imprison their survivors In the day of their distress.The Day of the LORD and the Future15 "For the day of the LORD draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head.16 "Because just as you drank on My holy mountain, All the nations will drink continually. They will drink and swallow And become as if they had never existed.17 "But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape, And it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.18 "Then the house of Jacob will be a fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set them on fire and consume them, So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.19 Then those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, And those of the Shephelah the Philistine plain; Also, possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria, And Benjamin will possess Gilead.20 And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Will possess the cities of the Negev.21 The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom will be the LORD'S.
